Snow will serve as the Giants' representative for the First-Year Player Draft, helping announce and relay word of the Giants' early-round selections.

The annual First-Year Player Draft takes place this year from June 4-6, beginning with the first round and Compensation Round A on Monday, June 4, at 4 p.m. PT.
